Italian Wine Adventure #5: Langhe Nebbiolo! (A red wine lover must-have, bold red wines, the noble grape of Italian wine, Barolo’s baby brother)

48 minutes

Did you know that the King of Italian wines is Barolo made from the Nebbiolo grape? Ok, but did you know that you can find some great wines made from the same grape and that cost a lot less by seeking out Langhe Nebbiolo?!? Trust us - and we’ll tell you more! In this episode, we return to Italy to explore this fantastic red wine, and we specifically focus on Nebbiolo wines from Langhe, which is the area of Piedmont where Barolo and Barbaresco are made as well. If you are stuck on French varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir, you really have to try Nebbiolo. Seriously! We mean it! We talk about the difference between Barolo and Langhe Nebbiolo wines, and we think we have found some great bargains with high QPR among the wines that we selected for this episode! So join us! And as a special bonus, we talk a little bit about season two of The White Lotus - with no spoilers, we promise! Wines reviewed in this episode: 2020 Ca’ Gialla Langhe Nebbiolo, 2017 La Sacrestia Langhe Nebbiolo, and 2018 Villadoria Bricco Magno Langhe Nebbiolo.
